Repellency of Skin-Surface Lipids of Humans to Mosquitoes
Autor(es): Skinner W A,Tong H,Maibach H,Khan A A,Pearson T
Resumo: Skin lipids obtained from the washings, in acetone or diethyl ether, of the foreheads or arms of humans are very repellent to female Aedes aegypti when evaluated in a dual-port olfactometer. By means of thin-layer chromatography, the repellent substances can be separated from nonrepellent material also present in skin lipids.
